a bugbear rouge with this ring would destroy everyone

 

But you wouldn't be able to see that the bugbear was red...   <chuckle>

 you should have played it safe and gone for the obvious sonic joke

Okay so I have a high level wizard who is stalking the party. He/she is wearing the ring and casts a spell while invisible. He/she can then be seen by the players. Does the wizard have to remove the ring and replace it on his/her finger for it to work again ? Or can he/she just reactivate it's effect ? I basically want the enemy wizard to be attacking from invisible as much as he/she can. Thoughts please.

I have just realized that the answer to my question is in the description. It's an action while wearing it. Doh.

Greater Invisibility.............

I’d like to think that somewhere in the multiverse, a rogue fell off a roof in a heist and died of fall damage and is just lying dead, invisible for years. 

I happen to have that ring from very early (lucky me). I was wondering if there's a way to loophole the whole become-visible-when-attacking/casting-a-spell  thing. What if I become invisible, place a bunch of traps and they just step on them? it doesn't really count as attacking them, right? 
P.S. Arcane Trickster here

They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses, wicked, tricksy, false.

I had the same question.  Thanks for making me not have to think for the answer!

1 ring to find them one rin to bind them one to rule themall

Now much go would one cost?

Ah, the hobbit ring, Bilbo Baggins's ring

 Almost a year out, so this is mostly for future readers: Start or get to where only your target can see you, use your Bonus Action & Reaction first, use your Action to become invisible again second, and then move away.  You'll be visible for only a few seconds, all during your turn.  Also, maintaining concentration on a spell or using a action as part of a spell is not the same as casting a spell.  You can get a lot of ROI from a RoI, with a little planning in advance.

Are you allowed to use your reaction during your action? I thought a reaction had to be triggered by something (opportunity attack, feature, spell, etc) but that creating a condition with your ready action took your action? Can you give an example of the action economy for this sequence as I am curious how it plays.

 The most common one would be your target having a readied action which you respond to with your Reaction. "When I see Besnoel, I shoot him with my bow / cast my held spell."  So you use your Bonus Action to do something, breaking Invisibility, your target shoots / casts at you, and then as a Reaction, you cast Shield or Absorb Elements.  Or, if you are a Mastermind Rogue, appear behind one enemy & in front of a 2nd enemy, using your reaction to Misdirect the 2nd enemy's held attack.

Also, don't forget to cast Blink while / before using this ring.  Is Besnoel merely invisible, or have they moved to another plane of existence?  Is it worth it to cast fireball where I think they stand?

Quote from CasuallyChallenged >>

Question: If you tried to Dispel Magic on this, could you "end the effect" by dispelling the effect of the invisibility or would you need to target the ring to disable the ring from being able to make you invisible?

edit: how our DM handled it, the effect can be dispelled if you can target it (we had some see invis up and he made our druid make a hit with disadvantage, which she succeeded at!), and it will drop the effect, but unless the ring itself is targeted, it can just be enabled again. So, that was our table rule.

 RAW:  No as Dispel Magic only ends spells.  It does not remove magic or magical effects from magic items.  The ring doesn't allow the wearer to cast invisibility.  It allows the wearer to have the invisible condition.  There is no spell involved.

It works fine, but it keeps whispering at me

Quote from Dr_Frederick >>

I like that, unlike the spell of the same name, it does not require concentration. 

 Which means for a Trickster cleric - Invoke Duplicity, become invisible, and mess with people.
